Video Session

Each year during our August Program, we video record a number of
sessions and make them available through BGSU's DVSS video reserve
system. These videos can be viewed either from the library media
reserve room, from any computer on campus (computer labs), or from a
home computer if you have a high speed or broadband (DSL)
connection.

To View a GSO Video:

Review the list of video titles at the bottom of this page. To view
one of these videos simply click on the title and it will take you
directly to the DVSS login screen. Enter your login information and
the video will open. At this time you can select one of the two play options.

If CLICK TO PLAY is not available for the desired title, you should
follow the SCHEDULE VIDEO steps to view the video on your desktop. On
the next screen, select "PC Desktop-on-Campus" from the
building pull-down lists and enter your name and phone number in the
appropriate boxes. Click on the GO button. The next screen allows you
to confirm your programming choice. You must either select the CLICK
TO PLAY or SCHEDULE VIDEO option on the bottom of the screen.

Conducting a Video Search:

After logging into MyBGSU select the Video Search link from
the menu on the left side navigation bar.

Enter keywords describing the video topic you would like to watch in
the Keyword search box. Use all lower case letters and, if applicable,
use the wild card character (*) to search for strings of characters.
Please review the Search Tips link for specific examples and
additional searching assistance.

Click on the SEARCH button. After a few seconds, a list of media
matching your search criteria will be displayed.

Play Video option:

If CLICK TO PLAY is available and you want to watch immediately,
select that option. A separate window will open and the video will
begin to play. You will also have the option to add the video to a
list, email this video, and for some video topics there may be a
transcript available.

Schedule Video option:

If only the SCHEDULE VIDEO option is available on the media
confirmation screen, you will not be able to control your program. It
will play automatically at the scheduled time.

After selecting SCHEDULE VIDEO enter the date and time you wish to
view the program and click the Submit button. A confirmation screen
will appear letting you know your request has been processed
successfully. To view a video that has been scheduled for a later time
on your desktop PC, return to the DVSS search page (My Video Search
from the http://my.bgsu.edu search page) a few minutes prior to the
scheduled start time. Select the PC Stream Guide link located on the
left navigational bar. A schedule, which refreshes automatically, will
be displayed on your screen. Scheduled videos appear on the list about
15 seconds prior to the scheduled start time. When you see the desired
video appear in the list, select the WATCH button to the right of the
requested video. A new window will open and your video will begin
playing at the requested start time.

* If you experience problems with viewing the videos from a
computer, please go to the help page:
http://dvserver02.bgsu.edu/support/videohelp.html. Also, please alert
the GSO Coordinator of Ongoing Programs to any problems you experience.

Filling Out Your Attendance Verification Form After Viewing a Video:

In order to receive credit for any session you attend, you must fill
out an Attendance Verification
(AV) Form. You are NOT required to have a signature for a
videotape session. However, please be sure to give the full name of
the video and a thorough summary on the AV form in order to
demonstrate that you have viewed it. You must complete the evaluation
portion of the form in order to receive credit.
